More big changes

By admin

We’re moving to Alberta - land of snow, the mountain time zone and brown grass – blech!

I got laid off…. my Mom is about to have surgery again – she owns a pizza shop so we’re going to go that way and help each other out.   We’ll stay in her unfinished basement.  Kaius will go to Grade One at a school there.  So before I even get there our schedule is going to be school drop off at 9am, pizza shop at 11, school pick up at 3, pizza shop at 4.

Once Mom sells the pizza shop (which she’s been trying to do for a while now) – they are taking off in a fifth wheel and we’re on our own.  Until then, I’m going to work my ass off relaunching my business – I just bought TutorialGurl.com and am excited to see where that goes.

I’ve had this feeling that it’s all been leading up to us going that way for a few months now and I was ignoring it because it’s not my favourite place in the world.  But it makes sense.  I’ll be closer to most of my family.  The only family that is over here is my Dad.

The town we’re going to live in is called Strathmore , 40 kilometres (25 mi) east of Calgary – population 11,000ish. It’s sunny almost 333 days of the year with an average number of 112 frost free days per year.

I found out I was being laid of on August 25th, we’re going to be out of our apartment by September 9th and leaving for Strathmore on September 20th.  We’re dog sitting for a friend at her place for a week and going to WA state for a couple days before we leave.

We’ll probably be there for at least the school year if not longer… it’s cheaper to live out there than here.

I’m going to miss the Vancouver area… it’s home.
